    The Green Bay Packers will look to continue their 10-game winning streak against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.  It will be the 209th matchup all-time between the two legendary franchises.

    However, Green Bay may have a brand new wrinkle to add to their offense.

    With 158 carries and 762 rushing yards, Josh Jacobs has performed as advertised in his first season with Green Bay. With 19 receptions (24 targets) for 128 yards and a touchdown, the veteran running back has also played a significant role in the passing game.

    A big game from Jacobs and the Packers’ running game will be crucial against the Bears on Sunday. Over their last three games, Chicago’s defense has allowed 175 rushing yards per game.

    In light of this, the Packers could have a key member of their running back room by Sunday:

    Packers News: Green Bay Holding Open Roster Spot for Rookie

    According to Packers Senior Writer Wes Hodkiewicz, Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur suggested that the open spot on the 53-man roster will likely be held for rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd. LaFleur added that having four running backs is a good problem to have.

    Lloyd returned to practice on Wednesday after being designated to return from injured reserve on Monday. With that move, the Packers have 21 days to activate him.

    The rookie running back has been hampered by multiple injuries to start his NFL career. Lloyd’s latest injury (ankle) caused him to go on IR in September after missing the regular season opener and preseason with a hamstring injury.

    The Pack would love to add him to the running back rotation for the second half of the season. Green Bay drafted Lloyd in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft to be the RB2 and provide explosive plays out of the backfield.
